They have an awesome trail system and some wilderness areas too. Trails are multiple use with hikers, equestrian, mountain bikes and motorcycles. Very few ATV trails though as that makes the trails too wide.

Makes the trails too wide for what??? Is a single track less noticeable than a double track?

BRAVO TO YOU BOTH! I keep harping on education but can only reach those that are organized or follow boards such as this, many do not. I'm not picking on ATV's or UTV's but unfortunately they are, by percentage, the less "educated" in land use issues. Anyone can jump on an ATV or drive a UTV but it takes some skill to ride a motorcycle and we see a greater percentage of motorcyclists are educated than the others."



More skill and better educated if you ride a two wheeler?? Hahahahahaha. You are priceless. Make a statement like that, and then beg to not be flamed for it. That is about the most uneducated post in this thread, and the same mentality that makes bikers think that they don't tear up trails. Have you EVER seen a bike that wasn't throwing up a roost behind it? Clueless...

Nayther is right according to what we see here. The single track trails don't get shortcut, trashed and messed up like the ATV trails. Responsible ATVers have tried to get a club going, but the slobs don't join any way. May be true for bikers also but the trail conditions tell otherwise. Rode some ATV trails last year that you couldn't tell where the trail was supposed to be. It would split, then in a few hundred yards split again. Only places there was just one trail was where that was the only passage. Almost never see trash on single track. Sometimes we nearly run out of room to carry back all we see on ATV trails.
